I recommend Acme Cafe or Save on Meats for great diner food. I love the atmosphere at the Acme and both are reasonable $$$.

Breakfast at edible on Granville island followed by a walk around the shops and market. Head back across false creek via aquabus and have a walk around Stanley park. Grab dim sum lunch at shanghai Chinese bistro on Alberni, pop into Tiffany & Co to be treated to a nice gift, then head make your way to gastown for a wander and a drink. End the day at Simply Thai for dinner

Also check out grouse mountain up the gondola for lunch, maybe the capilano expensive bridge.

Don't forget a brolly

now that's my idea of a nice day out:thumbup: This could be the Saturday plan!

In that case go to Le Crocodile for a bit of French nosh. There's a lot of places that are okay, but like the country in general, they're all just a bit mediocre although they think they're 'world class'. You might as well save your money and eat somewhere casual/a bit shit. It really doesn't matter where, their menus are all the bloody same, I'd go for the extra spicy chicken wings at Earl's.

god man, do you ever give it a rest....;) hell of a lot better choic here than the vast majority of the UK

You obviously haven't had the new beef & potato pasty at Wetherspoons.

No, but my brother, who's a cheap tw.t, took me there for a burger...horrific experience...the burger would have made a super hockey puck. The beer aw cheap though.
